Introduction
Thank you, and congratulations on your choice of the Roland KR Intelligent Piano.
While the KR Intelligent Piano certainly allows you to achieve authentic piano
performances, it also features easy-to-use Automatic Accompaniment and numerous
other useful functions. In order to enjoy reliable performance of your new keyboard for
many years to come, please take the time to read through this manual in its entirety.
Main Features
❍
Piano Sounds with Rich Resonance and Wide-Ranging
Expressiveness
The stereo sampling piano sound generator realistically reproduces even the sound of
the hammers striking the strings, producing the tones of a high-quality concert grand
piano.
Maximum polyphony of 128 notes ensures that you can use the pedal freely without
running out of notes.
The KR features a new speaker system, “grand piano presence system,” to provide
sounds with depth and spatial realism.
❍
Pursuing the Playing Feel of a Grand Piano
These instruments feature a progressive hammer action keyboard, which duplicates the
touch of a grand piano, with a heavier touch in the lower register, and a lighter touch in
the upper register. In addition, even the distinctive “click” that you feel when pressing
a key on a grand piano has been faithfully simulated (escapement mechanism).
The pedal is designed for good-feeling response, and allows subtle performance nuances
to be expressed.
❍

Automatic Accompaniment settings that match that song, and while looking at the
chord score, perform with accompaniment added.
